Sri Lanka beat India by 3 runs in the final to win the ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2018

The Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) junior selection committee on Sunday named allrounder Jayant Yadav for the upcoming Emerging Teams Asia Cup that will be held in Sri Lanka from December 2 to 17 this year.

The 28-year-old Yadav, who has played four Tests and an ODI, last represented India in the first of the four-Test series against Australia at Pune in February last year before he lost his place in the side. Yadav is currently playing for Haryana in the ongoing Ranji Trophy 2018-19 season.

Indian Premier League (IPL) stars Nitish Rana, Deepak Hooda and Mayank Markande, who grabbed eyeballs in his breakthrough IPL season for Mumbai Indians this year, have all been included in the 15-man squad. India U-19 World Cup pacer Shivam Mavi also earned a call-up.

India failed to progress past the round-robin stages in the Emerging Teams Asia Cup last year and will look to improve on their dismal show.

One look at this squad and you can tell the BCCI isn't serious in the least about this tournament. Some good up and coming pacers but not a single India prospect in the batting department. Mavi and Rajpoot are both from UP so I hope their Ranji team won't have any matches scheduled during this period.

UP will be having Ranji tournaments during this tournament
they should try the likes of Mohit Jangra,Kartik Tyagi when Rajpoot,Mavi won't be available

Only 7 days left.No squad announced.No planning.No vision.How a team formed by u-23 players only 4-5 days before tournament can do well in a tournament?
Such a crap PCB.never changes.India announced the squad long ago.Pakistani players are really talented otherwise the game would be gone long ago from pakistan having such a crap and aimless board.

Pakistan to Co-Host Emerging Teams Asia Cup with Sri Lanka in December 2018

Lahore-November 28, 2018: Pakistan will be Co-Hosting Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2018 with Sri Lanka from December 6, 2018. Eight teams namely Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, India, Oman, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Hong Kong and United Arab Emirates (UAE) will participate in the tournament. The teams have been divided into two groups, wherein Group ‘A’, Sri Lanka, India, Afghanistan, and Oman matches will be played in Colombo, Sri Lanka from December 7, 2018, whereas in Group ‘B’, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Hong Kong, and UAE matches will be played in Karachi from December 6, 2018.

The Group ‘B’ matches of Pakistan leg will be played in two venues of Karachi i.e. National Stadium and South-End Ground Club from December 6 to 9, 2018. The participating teams will arrive in Karachi on December 4 and will practice on the next day at National Stadium. Pakistan will feature in the opening match of the tournament on December 6, 2018 against Hong Kong at National Stadium. On the same day, Bangladesh will feature against UAE at South-End Ground Club. The final of the tournament will be played in Colombo, Sri Lanka on December 15, 2018. (Group 'B' matches schedule attached).

I sincerely hope Inzy selects a group of promising youngsters for this tournament and no political selections or tried and tested failures. It’s about time we gave the brilliant youngsters some proper exposure to life outside Pakistan domestic circles. Shaheen is a prime example of what can be achieved with backing and commitment. We need to start planning for life without the likes of azhar Ali, asad, Hafeez, Malik etc

I for one am extremely intrigued to see who Inzy selects for this emerging Asia cup & will be following with intent should he make the right selections. I desperately want to see the likes of zeeshan, saif, Hasan Mohsin, musa, husnain & co.

Fully Expecting Shakeel Sheikh's son or nephew to magically make an appearance in this squad with ZERO performances whatsoever. Also won't be surprised if Azam Khan gets the nod - I will riot if either of these selections are made.

Pakistan will play Hong Kong in the opening game of the event at National Stadium, Karachi on December 6 while the men in green will face UAE on December 7. On December 9 Pakistan will take on the challenge of Bangladesh in their third match of the tournament.

I wonder who would be the players of bangladesh playing emerging cup ??? @MMHS

I think, they have selected quite a decent team - very young & inexperienced bunch, but these are probably our best back-up among U23. Nurul should have played Dhaka Test ahead of Liton, but probably Emerging Cup Captaincy cost him a Test cap.

@MMHS looks like Bangladesh have slected a good squad as all name except Musaddek apears new,BTW i was not expecting inzi to select this decent squad though he knows what is he doing to protect his nears and dears.

This tournament name is "Emerging" cup, therefore you should expect lots of new names. I think, Captain Nurul was also more or less regular in BD squad as 2nd WK, recently Liton has passed him. He & Shafiul are from former player's bunch, rest are more or less new face. They have picked 5 pacers for the tournament considering the upcoming NZ tour, lets hope that Karachi wicket does allow to play 3 pacers.

Inzamam is not being honest here - I heard that Saud will make the Emerging cup, hence he was dropped from Lion's Series, but then I see Rizwan to lead PAK A on 5th game on 5th DEC, then lead PAK Emerging on 6th or 7th..... which suggests Saud was deliberately kept out of Lion's series, so that he doesn't make a case of SAF ODIs. And, I wrote many times - Ul Haq knows his game, this is not a mistake by chance - these Saad or Ali Imran or Adil or even Shan are not going to snatch Imam's spot; but Saud can, hence he is batted at 7 when ever picked and dropped at the right time.

Bangladesh has selected a good squad keeping there away tours in mind.I know what this man does Called Inzi.

Very good team if they are selected as all of them we know are the future of bangladesh, from the last couple of years . Very good team as they are very good bunch. They are better than soumya,sabbir bunch i believe. Hope they replicate it in internationals.

Do you think Saud was sent to no, 7 because of Inzi's instruction? For me its possible. That guy doesn't have any honesty, principle, morale, passion. Really disappointed with his 2 face appearance.

Disappointed that imran rafiq after being one of the top performers in FC with 700 odd runs this season and genuine u-23 didnt get selected

That I shouldn’t comment, but somewhere there must be something. It can’t happen that an U23 player scored over 1.5K runs at like 55/85 stats from #3 is missing selection to make space at #3 for a 29 years old with stats like 34/66 in same domestic tournament. Stats/looks can be deceiving, but dropping him from Lion’s series is so obvious that someone/people are trying their best to make sure that Saud’s name doesn’t pop up before WC. I won’t be surprised if he is played at 5-6 at emerging cup as well.

Inzamam hiered almost entire PAK squad on behalf of a fixed league ICL, knowing that it could end their career for PAK, just after retirement therefore obviously words like honesty, principle, morale, passion.... doesn’t go with him.

No one in pk cricket serious for winning every game and giving chance to youngsters babar is lucky somehow he get chance and proved his worth pcb wasting saad and saud for cheap player's
